Easter Bonnet Activity

Leave a comment

This week, Gargieston PS & ECC would have been a hive of creativity as we prepared for Easter.

Mrs McLaughland, Mrs Lawson, Mrs Hendrie and I would like to encourage you to be creative at home with some Easter art work.

The ECC had planned to hold an Easter bonnet parade through the school.   If you have time, we would love you all to do this at home!  Be as creative as you can and have fun making Easter bonnets – you could even make one for Mum & Dad or your pets.  Maybe you could have a parade in your garden!

We would love to see your Easter bonnets posted on your class Teams or your blogs.  We will select some of the most creative ones to share on here at the end of the week.

Have fun!

We are living in extraordinary times right now and no doubt we will look back at 2020 and remember what was happening in our town.

The last time the country experienced anything like this was during WW1 when Spanish flu swept across Europe carried by soldiers. The Dick Institute was used as a hospital back then for the soldiers coming back injured or ill, as these two grainy photos show…. 

This short video clip was taken outside The Dick Institute in 1922.

Morning everyone and happy Friday!! 😀

Thanks to all who have sent pictures in doing your yoga poses over the last couple of weeks, it’s been great to see such a big response! Todays one will be the last pose until after the Easter holidays but don’t let that stop you doing your yoga! Todays pose is:

‘Warrior III.’

Maybe you could create your own yoga sequence using the poses you’ve learned? Great way to see what you can remember and to keep practising.

I Hope you all have a fantastic, relaxing couple of weeks spent with family. 🙂

Stay safe, keep smiling and

Namaste 🌈 x
